At 10:30 am on Wednesday, October 14, Fort Lauderdale Manager, Customer Service Angela Randle will dedicate the Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamp in the Main Office lobby, 1900 W Oakland Park Blvd.
In support of "Breast Cancer Awareness Day," the public is invited to learn more about breast cancer prevention and detection from health professionals in the Fort Lauderdale Main Office lobby from 9 am to 1 pm. Free bone density testing will be conducted onsite.
Breast Cancer Research semi-postal stamps also will be available at the retail counter. Forty-four of the 55 cents for each semi-postal stamp pays the single, one-ounce First-Class postage rate. The remaining 11 cents goes to breast cancer research. Since this first semi-postal stamp was issued in 1998, nationwide customers have raised $67.6 million for breast cancer research.
You also can support breast cancer research by participating in the "Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure" in downtown Miami on Saturday, October 17. There's still time to register. For more information, contact Damaris Agrait at 305-470-0881 or Marguerite Goulet at 954-436-4422.
(Both events are off-the-clock activities for postal employees.)
